Crying Roses: Featuring Inspector Walter Darriteau (Inspector Walter Darriteau cases Book 15)
About
Imagine waking every morning, a stranger inside your head, telling you to kill people before bedtime.
Last thing at night, the bowling club president, Barnabus Reynolds, is busy cashing up, preparing to go home. Everyone else has gone. He believes he is alone; but is he?
At nine the next morning, the caretaker opens up to find Barnabus splayed out on his office floor, dead and gone. There is no blood to be seen, no cuts, no sign of any injury, and no murder weapon. Could it have been a heart attack or stroke?
He checks the top drawer for yesterday’s takings and finds nothing. Could it have been a robbery? How did the widely loved Barnabus meet his end? The caretaker is baffled and upset in equal measure, as he makes a call, summoning the emergency services.
“Crying Roses” is the fifteenth book in the Inspector Walter Darriteau series, another chunky standalone novel, and one to keep any reader interested, featuring strong characters capable of jumping straight into the reader’s mind.
Praise for this book
Another welcome Walter Dariteau book from David Carter. As ever, the story rattles along at great pace keeping the reader interested and keen to learn more about the escapades of the various characters.
It is well written, and the dialogue flows really naturally as the story unfolds.
I won’t include any spoilers here - suffice to say I’m really looking forward to the author’s next Walter book - it should prove to be a little bit different to the norm !!
